DHS Secretary Kristi Noem swore the January 24th killing of Alex Pretti—an American ICU nurse gunned down by ICE agents in Minneapolis—was justified because he posed an active threat to federal officers. But just in case you still believe anything that comes out of this administration’s mouth or haven’t figured out the pattern yet, that was a lie.
Amid anti-ICE protests sweeping through Minneapolis, the federal agency yesterday proved the protesters right by claiming another victim. Alex Pretti was filming the brutality of the ICE agents on the scene, but when he came to help an observer, the agents tackled him to the ground, seized his firearm and proceeded to fire near a dozen rounds into him while he lay pinned on the sidewalk.
